Common Bushbrown

Description:

Nymphalidae; Satyrinae; Mycalesis perseus caesonia Wallengren, 1860. (Wet Season Form). I can't tell if this a male or a female because I did not manage to get an "open wing" photo. The male and female (at least, in M. perseus, according to Wikipedia) differ only in the size of the eyespots on the upper wing surfaces. I am not sure if the same applies to the subspecies.

Habitat:

This Common Bushbrown was spotted in a rice field which was left uncultivated this season to allow the land to rest. When we do this, an amazing variety of grasses and foliage springs up very quickly and creates what I like to call a tropical meadow.
